Yeah they are all DP mcb. But it wasn't turned off ! Lol. 4 bed property with 6 boards dotted all over. They thought there were only 5 !

No they are 230v phase to neutral.

After spending Christmas in France at a relatives I finally got round to doing a few jobs that they wanted doing. I don't know if it's just me but the tickle I got from a supposedly dead cable didn't seem half as powerful as to what we get at home. I know they are on 230v and more often than...

I'd offer the choice of second hand from fleabay (other dodgy second hand sites are available) which leaves the unit in no worse a condition than you found it but explain that it may fail again in a short period or new unit with additional protection. I don't fit other manufacturers parts at...

Thanks peeps. These things happen as we all have an expiry date. It just brings it home that my parents are that age. Cherish every moment with family and friends as you never know how long anyone has. The guy was one of the nicest people you could ever meet. Never had a day off sick, worked...

Hey 5 mins after I posted that my ex messaged me to say her stepdad had passed away. So not the greatest start for me !

Just had a customer call me with this

May 2024 bring you all that you deserve and more.

Only issue with gu10 replacement will be hole size. You can get fittings with adapters to fill the gap but they can look a bit like dinner plates on the ceiling.

Is a type A suitable for the EV charger as you cannot put a lower rcd downstream. I always thought EV had to be type F/B ???

Looking at that old wooden board I would imagine that there are more than likely areas of your property that are due to be rewired. The French wiring system is different to the UK in regard to use of colours of wiring. I remember opening a multi gang switch and finding red, orange, purple and...

You need to clarify what you have ordered. If you have ordered 1 x 3phase supply then they will only install 1 x 3phase meter and its then upto you to meter and charge each separate unit. If you want the supplier to provide meters for each unit, then you need to order 5 single phase supplies...

The 18th edition exam is an exam showing you know how to look in a book. There is no requirement for any retained knowledge past that. Hence why if you can use an index you can pass the exam quite easily.

You can put plastic pipe in (as plumbers and diys do) but there is something else you need to do as well. Hopefully that will be a hint. But it's better if its repaired with copper.

I have in the past issued an eicr for a rewire but this was only due to the original electrician passing away before fully completing the second fix. You can issue an eic as there are 3 sections to sign. Design of installation, installation of equipment and inspection and testing. It can be 3...

C3 if plastic and in an escape route. No code if elsewhere.

12 is high, most frost stats are 5-7

If this is going to be a long term home then get it rewired as that's 30years without worry. Plus all accessories are new and numbers can be made upto recommendations now. I would budget 5-6k for a full rewire. More if they want extras such as downlights.
